LG vs. Sony

The Korean company LG Group wants to ban the sale of PlayStation 3 and Sony's Bravia televisions on U.S. soil due to the infringement of certain patents related to the Blu-Ray. The blog Foss Patents contacted Videogame Source report filings with the United States International Trade Commission. The USITC has the power to prohibit the sale in the United States of products that infringe patents approved.

According to the Korean manufacturer, Sony would be violating four patents related to "devices with Blu-ray." The only product mentioned in the document would be the PlayStation 3 model No. 2501A-CECH. According to Bloomberg it is a retaliation for the lawsuit brought by Sony against LG for patent infringement related to mobile phones.
